MSNBC NEEDS 12 DAYS TO MAKE SANFORD/MISS TEEN SC COMPARISON, REST OF WORLD GETS IT BY NOW
Nearly two weeks after Gov. Mark Sanford’s “mental recession” on CNN that officially ended his minuscule shot at being vice president, MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night took a humorously edgy approach to the story.
Whatever her name is that guest hosted the program rhetorically pondered whether “South Carolina’s governor and a different kind of contender from that same state might have a wee bit in common.” She even held her hand up with her thumb and index finger held closely together to signify the closeness of the obtuse moments shared by Sanford and former Miss Teen South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton.
Then, through the magic of cable television, they spliced together the Miss Teen SC footage with Sanford’s flub.
Which is hilarious because nobody has yet made that connection. Certainly not The Palmetto Scoop the day after it happened. And definitely not EVERYBODY else in the state and possibly America.
You have to hand it to that Olbermann, he sure knows how to be boring, obnoxious and irrelevant.

That video aired a long time ago.
The amount of whining that comes from this blog could put a two-year-old to shame.
I loved that sh*t on CNN. It only made me love Sanford even more. So, he has such a hard time coming up with a reason to like Juan McCain. Me too! So, he especially can’t find anything about McCain to like that Bush didn’t already do. Me too! Hell’s bells! He just blurted out the only thing that came to mind. He basically said that Pat Buchanan (and Ross Perot) are were about NAFTA. Well, I agree! I’ll bet Mark’s dying to say something about the Superhighway, and the coming of the North American Union and the Amero. No wonder Wolf Blitzer is the one making Mark look bad.

“whining” is right. sheesh. Does anybody other than Brad Warthen take this seriously?
Her name is Rachael Maddow, she’s an Air America radio host, Scoop…….
And this video is very appropriate and hilarious, especially in light of Miss SC making fun of herself. You think Mark Sanford might ever make fun of himself?????
Guess who? Does that mean you want me to figure out who you are?
Because I don’t know how on Earth I could do that. Nope, I’m definitely clueless as to who you are.
And I also have no idea that you’re also #2.
Oh well, I guess you stumped me.
Oh man! Is that really Brian? I haven’t heard from him since he went back to Georgia the day after the primary.
Eh, if it’s true, just use your real name. Adam is harmless; as the worst he could do is photoshop your face onto a character from an Austin Powers movie and then giggle to himself about it.
P.S. Special challenge Adam: Try and find me on meetup.
